Translation into English

To you, all the lords of ours, Severus, of the Augusti and of Maximinius Caesar.
Aurelius Isidorus, son of Anubion, of the mother of Plousia, from the city of Euergetis of Upper Kynopolite,
to Aurelius Heraklammon, of Didymion, from the splendid and most splendid city of Oxyrhynchus,
greetings. I acknowledge that I have completed and delivered to you at the marketplace of Upper Kynopolite a male donkey of the second
weighing black color, having a value of a certain amount of silver, agreed upon among ourselves,
five talents and drachmas of the silver coins of the Augusti, which are five talents and drachmas, as I have received from you through the hand of the full,
the confirmation towards all other confirmations following me for what has been done, through all and from all that is to come.
The matter is simple, clearly written, and when asked, I acknowledged it.
In the year 15 and in the year 3 and in the year 1 of our lords Maximian and Severus,
of the Augusti and Maximinius and Constantine, the most illustrious Caesars.
